Vitamin B9 (often mistakenly used interchangeably with folic acid), can come from food in the form of folate, or can be synthetically processed in the form of folic acid.
Vitamin B9 is a water-soluble vitamin and thus is not stored in the body. Instead, it is taken in the form of folic acid.
The name, folate, comes from Latin for “leaf,” as green leafy vegetables, legumes and citrus fruits are the richest sources of this vitamin.
Folates are available in many forms; folates in food remain metabolically active and appear in the main circulating form as 5-methyl tetrafolate.
This form has a host of positive functions and benefits in the body, including amino acid and nucleic acid biosynthesis, conversion of amino acids, replication of DNA and RNA, and also acts as a co-factor in a number of biological processes.
Folic acid on the other hand, the supplement form of vitamin B9 , remains metabolically inactive until it is converted into folates. The conversion of folate to tetrahydrofolate (THF) is done by the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase in the liver.

There are always questions about why Young Living uses certain compounds while “the competitor” uses a different compound for the same effect.

The phrase doesn’t really mean that much… “Therapeutic Grade”, “Pure Therapeutic Grade”, “Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade”, “Clinical Grade”, “Pharmaceutical Grade” etc. do not actually say anything about the quality or purity of an essential oil.
These terms are simply marketing or trademark terms used by some companies. Sometimes the term is used to describe the company’s quality standards, but since the terms are not regulated by any third party or government agency, they are simply terms used by companies for marketing purposes.
By definition, all essential oils are “therapeutic.” This simply means that they have some effect on the body’s systems. As long as you buy 100% pure essential oils, you don’t have to worry about using an inferior product.
Well-respected companies like Young Living provide documentation in the form of GC/MS tests and also provide the country of origin, Latin (botanical) name and other information about chemotypes.
